Salisbury
A rugged frontier planet with a small population of settlers. Salisbury gets little in the way of sunlight from its distant sun Kalidasa. However, a relatively CO2 heavy atmosphere provides a greenhouse effect keeping the climate tolerable for human life, if on the cold side (average surface temperature of 45F, (7.3C)). Once every 23 years (for a period of about 2 years) the Proto-Sun Penglai nears Salisbury, and the average temperature raises by about 5 degrees. This is called the Penglain Summer.
Salisbury is sparsely inhabited with only two major cities.
- Summer 2522 - A supply ship arrived at the site of an Abbey to find it deserted. No sign of violence, but no sign of the large group of monks. The Abbey had a reputation for reforming many small time criminals, but it is unknown whether that has anything to do with it.
